July 11: National Blueberry Muffin Day

What are you going to do with all of those juicy blueberries from your latest blueberry picking trip? Make muffins, of course. Blueberries also freeze well, as do blueberry muffins. Wrap the cooked and cooled muffins individually before freezing. Then you can grab one when you're one the way out the door for a tasty and homemade muffin to enjoy on your coffee break at work.

Blueberry Muffin Recipe

* Blueberry Maple Muffins
* Blueberry, Coconut and Macadamia Nut Muffins

Jazz up your favorite blueberry muffin with:

* A sprinkling of oats and brown sugar on the top of the muffin batter
* A whole walnut or pecan
* Dark chocolate chips in the batter if you like chocolate and fruit
* Raw sunflower seeds for extra Vitamin E
* Milled flax seed a non-animal source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Bowdler's Day

The self-righteous can rejoice today, feeling confident in bowdlerizing what they find offensive in works of art. In the words of one of the world's most famous and unofficial censors, Thomas Bowdler, "Many words and expressions occur which are of so indecent a nature as to render it highly desirable that they should be erased."
